PepsiCo is shutting down part of its Detroit facility due to declining consumer demand, with production, maintenance, and transport operations ending on September 27. Around 83 employees will be laid off, though the company will continue its warehouse and delivery operations at the site. This closure follows previous consolidations, including the closure of several bottling plants and snack facilities across multiple states. The company’s beverage sales have struggled as consumer preferences shift away from sugary drinks, prompting plans to introduce healthier soda options.
